3 Ko ʻeni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Kitione ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e tuʻí, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: Ko ʻeni ʻe tuʻi, kuó ke hōifua tuʻo lahi ki heʻeku ngaahi leá ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni ʻi he lolotonga ʻetau fetauʻaki mo hotau kāinga, ko e kau Leimaná.

4 Pea ko ʻeni ʻe tuʻi, kapau kuó u hoko ko ha tamaioʻeiki taʻeʻaonga kiate koe, pe kuó ke ʻafio ki heʻeku ngaahi leá ʻi he meʻa ʻe niʻihi, pea kuo ʻaonga ia kiate koe, kapau kuo pehē ʻoku ou fakaʻamu ke ke ʻafio mai ʻeni ki heʻeku ngaahi leá ʻi he taimi ko ʻení, pea te u hoko ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo fakahaofi ʻa e kakaí ni mei he nofo pōpulá.

5 Pea naʻe fakangofua ia ʻe he tuʻí ke ne lea. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kitione kiate ia:

6 Vakai ko e matapā, ʻi he ʻā ʻi muí, ʻi mui ʻi he tuʻa koló. Ko e kau Leimana, pe ko e kau leʻo ʻa e kau Leimana ʻi aí, ʻoku nau faʻa inu ʻo konā ʻi he poʻulí; ko ia tau fanongonongo ki he kakaí ni kotoa pē ke nau tānaki fakataha ʻa ʻenau ngaahi takanga monumanu īkí mo ʻenau ngaahi takanga monumanu lalahí, koeʻuhi ke nau fakateka ia ki he feituʻu maomaonganoá ʻi he poʻulí.

7 Pea te u ʻalu ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fekaú ʻo totongi ʻa e tukuhau fakaʻosi ʻo e uaine ki he kau Leimaná, pea te nau konā; pea te tau hū atu ʻi he hala pulipulia ʻi he tafaʻaki toʻohema ʻo honau ʻapitangá ʻi he lolotonga ʻenau konā mo mohé.

9 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻe tokanga ʻa e tuʻí ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Kitioné.

10 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko Limihaí ke tānaki fakataha ʻe hono kakaí ʻa ʻenau ngaahi takanga monumanu īkí; pea naʻá ne fekau ke ʻave ʻa e tukuhau ʻo e uaine ki he kau Leimaná; peá ne ʻoatu mo ha uaine lahi ange, ko ha meʻaʻofa kiate kinautolu; pea nau inu tauʻatāina ʻa e uaine naʻe ʻoatu kiate kinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ko Limihaí.

11 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa e kakai ʻo e tuʻi ko Limihaí ʻi he poʻulí ki he feituʻu maomaonganoá mo ʻenau ngaahi takanga monumanu īkí mo ʻenau ngaahi takanga monumanu lalahí, pea nau ʻalu takai ʻi he fonua ko Sailomé ʻi he feituʻu maomaonganoá, ʻo nau afe ʻo hangatonu atu ki he fonua ko Seilahemalá, pea naʻe tataki ʻa kinautolu ʻe ʻĀmoni mo hono kāingá.

12 Pea kuo nau ʻave ʻa ʻenau koulá hono kotoa, mo e silivá, mo ʻenau ngaahi koloa mahuʻinga, ʻa ia naʻa nau lava ʻo fetukú, kae ʻumaʻā foki ʻenau ngaahi meʻakaí mo e nāunaú; ki he feituʻu maomaonganoá; pea naʻa nau fai atu ʻenau fonongá.
